When Bgreen found out I was working on a matrix\dts for this show, he asked if I could go through the audience again using some patch material supplied by Charlie Miller.

AUD2 (no shnid):
Unknown Mics -> Cassette Master -> ? -> Cassette > CR-5A > HD-p2 > 24/96 wave
transfered by bgreen and supplies material from Sunrise to end of Around and Around

Audio Patches:

1) Between Candyman and Looks Like Rain, 1 minute and 26.255 seconds were missing from the original audience source and was filled in with audio from the soundboard source.

2) Between Looks Like Rain and Row Jimmy, 1 minute and 14.401 seconds were missing from the original audience source and was filled in with audio from the soundboard source.

3) Between Row Jimmy and El Paso, 1 minute and 50.919 seconds were missing from the original audience source and was filled in with audio from the soundboard source.

4) Between Ramble On Rose and New Minglewood Blues, 28.129 seconds were missing from the original audience source and was filled in with audio from the soundboard source.

5) Close to the start of Space, 31.397 seconds were missing from the original audience source and was filled in with audio from the soundboard source. At the end of this patch, the rest of the original audience source was in mono as bgreen explained above. AUD2 was used to replace the left channel for the rest of space till end of Around and Around. The encore (OMSN) remained in mono as no patch material was supplied for that portion of the show.

The only thing that made any sense was the space. And being how it was Egypt, well, space is indeed the place! and so, four stars just for that!

Did not care for this one too much. The sound seems very muddy and thick. (hard to describe)
I did not listen to the entire show. I listened to the first 3 songs and then skipped around to 4 or 5 other songs to see if the sound would improve. It didn't. i laso thought that the band's performance was rather sluggish. Not sue what it was, but the magic just doesn't seem to be there. While I generally like a good aud over a good sbd, the crowd noise on this one was annoying. I like to hear the roar of the crowd the clapping and cheering but,on most of the tracks I listened to you could hear distinct conversations going on.Not just a few words here and there, but people talking the entire time. I just can't deal with that. It is very distracting. I rate this a 2 at best...I know the MOTB guys did the best they could with what they had to work with, but this one couldn't be salvaged.
